[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At what age does spreading out a selection of foods and letting your child pick what they are going to eat stop? Because most people don't eat meals at a buffet. Most people eat meals like this: appetizer, main course, dessert. So at some point you're doing your DC a disservice to continue letting them act like a toddler learning to eat and not teaching them to eat like everyone else. What point is that? My guess is when they enter school. OP's child is no longer a toddler.[/quote]

I put everything we are having for dinner on the table. DH and I let our kids choose what they want to eat.

Including dessert?[/quote]

We don’t usually have dessert [/quote]

LOL then what is your contribution to this thread, which is about whether preschoolers should be allowed to eat cookies before the sandwich?[/quote]

DP— Because not eating dessert doesn’t mean not eating oats and bananas. When we do baked oatmeal it goes on the table with everything else and isn’t a “treat”[/quote]
